New Jersey’s Maternal Mortality Review Committee started in 1932 when the Medical Society of New Jersey established one of the first maternal mortality reviews in the United States. Between 1999 and 2020, Central Jersey Family Health Consortium oversaw the 26 member committee that met 5 times a year and reviewed all pregnancy-associaated deaths. In August 2020, the New Jersey Department of Health relaunched the MMRC in compliance with P.L. 2019 C.075. The 24 member multidisciplinary committee meets monthly to review all pregnancy-associated death cases and completes the MMRIA committee decision form. In 2014-2016, our state had 307,486 live births and 151 pregnancy-associated deaths, of which 46 were pregnancy-related. The NJ MMRC's overall goal is to review all pregnancy-aassociated deaths, identify contributing factors, develop actionable recommendations and interventions to reduce maternal mortality, analyze maternal mortality trends, and publish public reports in collaboration with the New Jersey Maternal Care Quality Collaborative, our statewide maternal health taskforce.
